The Uranus Was Knocked Off Course

With the formal alliance between the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, Teach's plan against the Flying Pirates had already begun.

The Flying Pirates, in a luxurious palace, Golden Lion Shiki sat high on his throne, with Rhine standing beside him. Below him stood an ordinary middle-aged man with weak strength; he was just an ordinary person.

"Admiral, this man has information about the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon," Rhine said to Golden Lion Shiki.

"Are you sure? Rhine, this guy?" Golden Lion Shiki looked doubtful and glanced disdainfully at the middle-aged man below.

"Listen to this," Rhine advised. "If we can obtain the Ancient Weapon, our plan will have a much higher chance of success." Although he himself didn't quite believe it, the idea of Ancient Weapon that had been sought for years suddenly appearing before them was hard for them to accept.

"Tell me what you know, and if it's true, I'll give you whatever you want," Shiki said Haki, looking down at the man below.

"If you dare to lie to us, you know what will happen," Rhine added.

An invisible aura caused the middle-aged man below to tremble with fear, kneeling on the ground. This posture displeased Shiki; he hated such a cowardly fellow.

"I... I swear on my life, it's absolutely true." Despite his fear, the man named Jose was also filled with excitement, gazing at the two powerful figures before him. The chance to change his fate was right in front of him.

If he can seize the opportunity, he can obtain anything, whether it's gold and silver treasures or Devil Fruit that can enhance his strength.

The greedy glint in his eyes piqued Shiki and his group's interest. If that was the case, it meant this guy might actually have something inside.

"What I possess is information about the Ancient Weapon 'Uranus'. The Ancient Weapon 'Uranus' is a secret weapon of the World Government, controlled by the World Government," Jose said with some excitement.

"Since it's under the control of the World Government, what's the point of telling us?" Rhine frowned. This alone was of no value to the Flying Pirates.

The World Government may possess Ancient Weapon, which is why the Flying Pirates are dedicated to finding Ancient Weapon and using Ancient Weapon to fight against other Ancient Weapon.

"Although Uranus is controlled by the World Government, as a secret weapon, it has not been operational for many years and has even been damaged."

"My ancestor worked for the World Government eight hundred years ago, so he knew the whereabouts of Uranus. To prevent the whereabouts of Uranus from being revealed, my ancestor was killed by the World Government, but he wrote it down in advance."

"The Uranus is not in the Holy Land."

Jose's words had already convinced Shiki and Rhine to some extent, and the last sentence made Shiki's eyes light up.

Since he's not in the Holy Land, it means he has a chance to seize Uranus, weakening the World Government while strengthening himself.

"Where?" Shiki couldn't help but ask.

He had long yearned for Ancient Weapon but had never been able to find them. Now that there was hope, his heart was not at peace.

In response to Shiki's question, the man named Jose took out a blueprint from his pocket and respectfully presented it to Shiki with both hands.

The airflow throughout the hall moved rapidly, and Rhine controlled it to lift the map and send it into Golden Lion Shiki's hands.

When Shiki opened it, it appeared to be a world map with some drawings and markings, but he couldn't understand what they meant.

"Last year, the location of Uranus was marked. It was in space, in a group of meteorites tens of kilometers above the Red Line, constantly moving in orbit around the Red Line," José explained to Shiki.

"The Uranus possesses terrifying power, but I don't know exactly what it is. We're sure to find it once we're in space."

Based on what Jose said, Shiki gradually understood the meaning marked on the map.

The legendary Ancient Weapon 'Uranus', seemed to be right before his eyes.

"Hahaha! Then let's find it and take the Uranus!" Shiki tossed the map to Rhine and laughed excitedly.

Although Jose's appearance had some flaws and raised questions, he didn't care about those at the moment; all he wanted now was to obtain the Shiki of the Uranus.

With the Uranus, he would gain a huge trump card.

"You can go down now. If you really find the Uranus, you can have anything you want." This was Golden Lion Shiki's promise, but it was based on the assumption that the intelligence was correct.

Rhine wasn't particularly happy. He watched José's departing figure, feeling that the coincidence was too much, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

He had even investigated Jose's identity. He was a generation of architects, tracing back eight hundred years. Although he couldn't find out the details, he was likely working for the World Government.

As for why he told them the whereabouts of Uranus, besides getting what he wanted, he also wanted to use the Flying Pirates' power to take revenge on the World Government.

Because his entire family died unexpectedly, likely at the hands of the World Government, who discovered his family's origins, he was the only one who survived.

This explanation is quite reasonable.

The conflict between the World Government and the Flying Pirates is escalating, and some intelligence has been leaked to various parts of the world through images, such as the World Government's intention to eliminate the Flying Pirates.

Even ordinary people know about the conflict Flying Pirates and the World Government.

"Perhaps even the heavens are helping us!" Rhine chuckled inwardly, shaking his head slightly to dispel the slight doubt in his mind.

Aside from their hidden plans, the terrifying Beast Legion, and Uranus, they truly have the potential to confront the World Government.

The Flying Pirates are now in a rather dire situation, with a large number of agents and CP0 powerhouses hiding in Flying Pirates territory, causing Flying Pirates considerable losses.

Meanwhile, the Flying Pirates were doing their best to eliminate the forces sent by the World Government, with Rhine, Chronos, and Shiki personally taking action.

Once they made their move, apart from a few CP0 powerhouses, the other CP0 agents were no match for them.

This is how the power of World Government is continuously weakened.

In other words, these agents are all hidden in the shadows, making them easy targets to take down one by one.

Otherwise, with the terrifying power sent by the World Government, even the combined Flying Pirates would struggle to cope in a direct confrontation.

There are many powerful individuals within CP0 alone.

Realizing that the World Government's power was far greater than they had imagined, they naturally sought to weaken it. Despite personally taking action, they were still able to kill only a minority of the World Government's World Government.

However, it also made them realize that most of these World Government agents were after Pure Gold.

They also used the information about Pure Gold to set traps to hunt down these World Government agents, greatly improving their efficiency.

As for Weil Island, the World Government has no way of finding it, because the island is no longer in the Sky Kingdom and has long been hidden by Shiki in the Calm Belt.

How could the World Government, which focuses its attention on the heavens, possibly find any trace of Weil Island?

However, not long after, before Shiki could even take action, news arrived that the man who had brought them information about the Ancient Weapon 'Uranus' was dead, assassinated.

"He was assassinated; it must have been done by the World Government," Rhine said calmly. Only the World Government could do something like that; even if it wasn't them, they would still pin the blame on the World Government.

"Don't worry about it. This way, the credibility of the information about the Uranus will be even higher." Shiki didn't care about the life of an ordinary person at all. Right now, all he could think about was the Uranus and finding Uranus.

"I'm going to find the Uranus. I'll leave things here to you, Rhine." Shiki strode towards the outside of the palace.

"Don't worry, Admiral!" Rhine nodded earnestly. He wouldn't let anything happen to the Sky Kingdom before the Admiral returned.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he, based on the intelligence he had gathered, found some traces that might be agents of the World Government.

Without the entanglement of Weil Island, he can act with impunity, targeting the World Government.

Rhine couldn't help but lament the World Government's foolishness. Sending so many powerful forces for the sake of Pure Gold, all at once, could have easily wiped out at least half of the Flying Pirates.

However, they did not do that. They were captured and killed one by one by the Flying Pirates like Nezumi, with very few other agents coming out to help.

What he didn't know was that many of these agents were sent by the Celestial Dragons, working towards a common goal but representing different interest groups.

They all bear the label of a Celestial Dragons or a Celestial Dragons family, so why would they care about the life or death of their other competitors?

It is precisely because these agents are not of one mind and their strength cannot be integrated that the situation of the Flying Pirates constantly besieging and attacking the World Government's agents has arisen.

As the admiral soared into the sky, Rhine prepared to mobilize his strongest subordinates to set up traps and encircle them.

Golden Lion Shiki's departure was something he had a premonition would take a considerable amount of time. Although he knew the approximate location, space was simply too vast.

During this period, he will certainly not allow anything to happen within his territory, and will further eliminate the World Government's power in preparation for future wars.

He wasn't very confident to begin with, since no one knew what terrifying trump cards the World Government was hiding.

Furthermore, while the beast legion created through "SIQ" can inflict enormous damage on the World Government and the Navy, it poses no threat to the top-tier combat forces within it.

However, this would also destroy the foundation of the World Government, making it unable to continue ruling the world. After all, it would become a powerless entity, and the World Government could be said to be in name only, or even destroyed.

This was the expected ending, and the Flying Pirates were able to use it to replace the World Government and become the King of the World.

Although it's a bit far-fetched, there's a chance of success, and more importantly, our own admiral can't wait any longer.

If we truly possess the Ancient Weapon 'Uranus', with its terrifying destructive power, we will have even greater confidence in our next plan.

In the Sky Kingdom, the Flying Pirates relentlessly searched for the World Government's agents and hunted down those they found. During this time, they also discovered spies from other factions, who were also dealt with by the Flying Pirates.

The massive operation of the forces, the fleets, and the more than one hundred affiliated pirate crews, all under Rhine's orders, has led one to suspect that the Flying Pirates will soon be making their move.

This not only provoked the World Government, but also various forces on the high seas.

"It seems the plan has succeeded." Teach of the Night Pirates looked at the intelligence sent by the Flying Pirates and knew that his plan had been completed.

The man named Jose was naturally a pawn chosen by Teach, and was immediately killed after revealing information about the Uranus.

"Just wait, our time is coming soon, hahahaha!" Teach sat on the throne, his eyes seemingly seeing the future, and couldn't help but laugh.

Only Mostima and Rediat were by his side, sharing in his joy.

After the battle with Whitebeard, whether or not to fight Golden Lion Shiki is completely unimportant, because no matter how strong Shiki is, he can never surpass Whitebeard.

The scheming among pirates and the covert machinations of the Night Pirates are all aimed at making the Night Pirates the true overlord and the strongest pirate crew in the New World.

What will Shiki's fate be? Teach doesn't care; the Flying Pirates' heavy losses are inevitable anyway.

Shiki owes his current success to Teach, both for the Battle of Edd War and after the news of Roger's execution.

In fact, Teach has already helped Golden Lion Shiki twice, allowing the Golden Lion's glory to continue for more than ten years, which should be enough for Golden Lion Shiki.

Even if Shiki were to survive, the Flying Pirates would not be the powerful Flying Pirates they once were.

With the fall of the Flying Pirates, the New World will usher in the era of the Night Pirates, who, with their terrifying power, will reign supreme over other pirate crews and are truly the strongest pirate crew.

This is the inevitable trend; anyone who dares to stand in its way will be annihilated!

The Night Pirates aimed to reach, or even surpass, the strength of the Rocks Pirates.

This is Teach once said to Pluto Rayleigh and Shakky, and he kept his word.

With Super Gene Potion that elevate life's level and potential, how could it not be possible?

On the other side, unlike Teach who had already determined the location of the Uranus, Golden Lion Shiki wandered the skies above the Red Line for a full fifteen days before finally finding his target.

The legendary Uranus appeared before him, a colossal and perfect masterpiece that made Shiki burst into laughter upon seeing it.

"Uranus, I have you." Having mastered the power of the Uranus, Shiki was convinced that his ambition would be fulfilled.

Shiki didn't pay any attention to the damaged rear of the Uranus.

Because José had previously mentioned that the Uranus was damaged, he had already imagined that it might have experienced a great war eight hundred years ago, and that the Uranus was destroyed at that time.

But it doesn't matter. As long as we get the Uranus, there are plenty of ways to make Uranus work.

Shiki lightly touched Uranus with his palm, activating the power of the Float-Float Fruit and affecting Uranus.

Now, Shiki felt he could control Uranus. With a gentle flick of his wrist, Uranus broke free from its original orbit and followed Shiki away, flying towards the sea.

His destination was not the Sky Kingdom; the Uranus was far too large and too conspicuous. Therefore, he was to be taken to the Calm Belt, which was Weil.

After all, the scientists recruited by the Flying Pirates were all gathered in Weil.

At the very moment that Uranus truly went off course, in the World Government, in the Flower Room of Pangu City, the adult who had just fallen asleep was awakened once again.

Unlike the vague sense of foreboding he had felt before, this time a truly major event had occurred, an unexpected major event that was detrimental to his ascension to the throne.

He soon realized why he felt that way.

"Uranus!" A chilling gaze, his hands already clenched into fists in the shadows.

The Uranus has gone off track. What does that mean? No one knows better than him.

The Uranus was discovered and taken away.

He saw the alarm sounding as the Uranus deviated from its set orbit. Although he didn't know where the Uranus was, he could see that Uranus was moving at an extremely fast speed.

The remote control that operates the Uranus displays data.

The consequences of the Uranus being taken away by other forces are unimaginable.

"Gorosei, get over here right now!" The anger in his voice was impossible to conceal.
